Professional Photographers in Scotland and the Importance of Location
Hi Everyone
As some of you may know, I will be leaving the area of Dunbar, East Lothian and moving to Kirkintilloch near Glasgow. After 15 years of living by the sea next to this wonderful coastline, in a few weeks time I will be in a totally different place. I will be very sad to leave Dunbar, as a professional fine art and landscape photographer, Scotland, this is obviously a great location for photography in Scotland and the ability to nip out and photograph a sunset or a storm just at my doorstep, will be missed. However, as photographer, we should always be looking at exploring new horizons and you can only keep photographing the same subject over and over again, so many times. I will be in the ideal place to explore Loch Lomond and the Highlands, in addition to being close to Glasgow for some urban photography and also to expand on my infrared photography in Scotland project. The area is also ideal for conference and corporate event photography in Central Scotland, with quick access to both Edinburgh and Glasgow, as opposed to Dunbar which is not so central. Kirkintilloch is also famous for its canals and I will be close to the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel, so onwards and upwards.
To celebrate the move, here is a photo taken in Glasgow, probably the best city in Scotland for urban photography.
Until next time.

Ideas for Projects During the Pandemic for Photographers in Scotland
Hi Everyone
One of the things I have found about this strange time as a professional corporate and event photographer based in Scotland is that I had to find other things to photograph, particularly since I am a specialist conference photographer and there hasn't been a conference for over a year now. So what did I do, for one, I couldn't travel to the same extent, so I concentrated on my local area and more importantly I adapted my projects to may daily routines. As you will know I have an ongoing project relating to infrared photography and I have managed to use this genre in unusual ways, so if I am going to take my boy to a skateboard park, I will photograph him in infrared. Likewise any insect shots and spring photos of chick hatchings in Dunbar have been taken in infrared, sometimes the results are fairly striking, so it is worth it in the end. Often I am looking to create something surreal in a typical infrared way, however sometimes it will be difficult to tell that the shot was taken in infrared and all you will be left with is a high contrast black and white photo with excellent dynamic range.
So onwards and upwards. Now that things are moving a bit, I will be photographing conferences in Scotland soon. However, I will continue with my local infrared project.
Until next time.
All the best
Colin
